What are you hearing about Ben Watson? Do you think he'll be released?

Yates is very strong physically, but he is weak in pass protection and nowhere near as good a run blocker as you'd expect.
I don't expect Watson to be released or traded. A lot of Patriots fans are quick to pummel players who don't live up to whatever mythical standards they have for them, whether or not they happen to be good players. The coaching staff doesn't listen to the cry of the miserable, however. Cassel is a perfect example of it, as a matter of fact.
Watson's not the best tight end in the game, but he's pretty good and he's a very difficult matchup for the opposition because of his speed. The tight end that's most likely to become available is Alex Smith.
